Verse 1
I walk into every room
Already sure the door will close
I sit at the table
Already halfway gone
Verse 2
I ask you to sit beside me
And trace the space between us
I’m starving for the kindness
I'm already sure I'll lose
Chorus
This isn’t living
It’s only a half-life
Control is an anchor
Not a lifeline
I’m bracing to leave
While there's still a good goodbye
This isn’t living
It’s only a half-life
Verse 3
I built my walls from river stone
I learned to live with muted gray
But a heart that's never broken
Is a heart that will not change
Chorus
This isn’t living
It’s only a half-life
Control is an anchor
Not a lifeline
I’m bracing to leave
While there's still a good goodbye
This isn’t living
It’s only a half-life
Bridge
I wonder what this shipwreck is
Without the weight that holds it down
Would the tide pull me under
Or carry me—just one way to know
Chorus
This isn’t living
It’s only a half-life
Control is an anchor
Not a lifeline
I’m bracing to leave
While there's still a good goodbye
This isn’t living
It’s only a half-life
This isn't living
It's only a half-life
